Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jermaine Jenas says that Gareth Bale is the best player that he played alongside during his time as a professional footballer.

Jenas, who hasn't officially retired but has been working as a pundit ever since his contract at Queens Park Rangers expired last summer, played with Bale for six years at White Hart Lane and he has praised his ability today.

He says that the Welsh winger was more talented than any other player he played alongside, while Manchester United legend Paul Scholes was the best player he played against.
